The last of us is considered one of the best video games in history. Created by Naughty Dog, the story introduces us to Joel and Ellie, two survivors in a post-apocalyptic world.
Due to the success of the video game, HBO confirmed at the end of 2019 a series that will adapt the title and that will be produced by Craig Mazin, showrunner of Chernobyl.
The little that is known about the series is that Mazin has written the script with Neil Druckmann, director of the Naughty Dog game, and that the fiction will adapt the story of the first video game.
Now, Mazin was encouraged to share the number of episodes that the season will have, which will have 10 chapters. The announcement was made on the Scriptnotes podcast, while the information was spread by the Twitter account @LastofNoticias.
